KAES Keenections Newsletter

Each year, we invite our families to participate in our Annual Parent Survey. This survey is an important tool that helps us better understand how we are doing as a school and how we can continue to grow and improve.

Your feedback provides valuable insight into what we are doing well and where we can strengthen our programs, communication, and overall school experience. Thoughtful input from parents allows us to make informed decisions that positively impact our students, staff, and school community.

Please know that your voice truly matters. We carefully review every response, and your perspective plays a meaningful role in shaping future goals and improvements. Whether your feedback affirms what is working or offers suggestions for growth, it is greatly appreciated.

The survey will take only a few minutes to complete, and we encourage every parent and guardian to participate. Your partnership and support help us remain focused on providing the very best educational experience for our students. Please use the link below to access our KAES survey.

With the unexpected loss of school days we had two weeks ago, KAES will need to have school on Friday April 3, 2026. This was listed as a possible weather makeup day on the calendar. This will be a half day (noon release). Please plan to have your child attend on April 3.

Did you know that for the past four year KAES has partnered with ACE Scholarships Texas? I encourage you to look at the information about applying for an ACE Scholarship for 2026-2027. Just click the link below to find out more.
